Faraday Future Claims Its Electric Minivan Is Quicker Than These Ten Supercars

California-based startup Faraday Future says its first production concept, the FF91, makes 1050 horsepower and can hit 60 mph in 2.39 seconds. That's not only quicker than any Tesla you can buy, it's also quicker than any of these supercars.

2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S

On the drag strip, basically nothing can touch the Porsche 911 Turbo S. Porsche has engineered the twin-turbo, all-wheel-drive, dual-clutch formula to perfection, and the numbers prove it. The Turbo S hits 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds. It almost renders the 887-hp 918 Spyder pointless. Yet, it's still about a tenth off the FF91.

2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

The Aventador LP 700-4 looks like something from another world; part supercar, part spaceship and part Transformer. But back in 2011, it would also bang out a 0-60 run of 2.7 seconds. That's quick by any standard.

2006 Bugatti Veyron 16.4

The Veyron, for whatever else it has become, is the undisputed king of speed. It's also, until recently, the undisputed king of acceleration. In our testing, the original 16.4 managed 0-60 in 2.6 seconds. The Super Sport later pulled a 2.52 second run to 60 in 2011. In 2014, it ran a 2.5 flat. Only the 918 and LaFerrari are quicker. And maybe the FF91.

2015 Porsche 918 Spyder

Only a tenth behind the LaFerrari and neck-and-neck with the Bugatti Veyron SS, the 918 Spyder is pretty impressive. That the 911 Turbo S is only a tenth behind it just makes the 911 itself even more miraculous. 2.5 is the number here. Any way you cut it, that's damn quick.

2017 Nissan GT-R Nismo

The last Nissan GT-R Nismo we tested can't beat the FF91's claimed 0-60 mph time of 2.39 seconds, sure. But at 2.9 seconds, at a minimum, it's still pretty darn quick. Plus, you can actually buy a GT-R Nismo right now.

2015 McLaren 650S Convertible

This is one of the most-recent cars we've tested. 0-60 flashes by in just 2.7 seconds, but the amazing thing is what happens after 60 mph. The acceleration numbers are staggering. It's still pulling 0.5 g at 100 mph!

2015 Lamborghini Huracán

With a 602 hp V10 behind the seats, and the added traction of AWD, the Huracán is the sort of machine that shines in the basic 0-60 run, the standard and universal bragging rights measure. In our testing, it did a 2.8 (the same as the last Audi R8 V10 Plus we tested, too), still nearly four-tenths slower than the FF91.

2014 Ferrari LaFerrari

Quick: what car is quicker to 60 than the Veyron Super Sport or the Porsche 918 Spyder? This isn't a great question, because you're staring at the answer. Let us describe it thusly: "Given these numbers, we assume that when you connect a VBOX to the Ferrari FXX K, a Wookiee in a Scuderia Ferrari firesuit magically appears in the passenger seat and the car simply makes the jump to hyperspace."

2017 McLaren 570S

The baby McLaren can hit 60 in 2.8 seconds, which is certainly very, very quick, but it's just not as quick as this electric minivan pod thing.

2014 McLaren P1

This is a car, admittedly, that we haven't tested. But we have driven it. And Chris Harris will likely give McLaren the benefit of the doubt that their hybrid supercar can saunter to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.8 seconds, if its baby brother can do 60 in 2.8. This is probably a conservative number. Our road test editor's educated guesswork puts the P1's real-world 60 mph time at around 2.4 or 2.5 seconds. It's undoubtedly faster than the P90D's "Ludicrous Mode" but still slightly off the FF91's claimed figure.
